Purpose and function in the PDC system

The presented set of two sensors is a component of the PDC system used in BMW E81, E87, E90, and E91 series models. It is responsible for precise distance measurement from obstacles during maneuvering, transmitting a signal to the control unit and providing acoustic or visual alerts. This provides the driver with clear information about approaching obstacles, which facilitates parking in tight spaces and reduces the risk of damage to bumpers and body components.

Color and visual match

Sensors in Carbonschwarz Metallic - 416 color are intended for vehicles painted in this shade, which allows for a consistent bumper appearance without the need for additional painting. Proper color matching is not only aesthetic but also practical – the PDC elements do not stand out from the bumper surface, making the entire system look factory-integrated.

Benefits of using original BMW sensors

Using original BMW parking sensors ensures:

• proper cooperation with the factory PDC controller and the vehicle's electrical installation,
• appropriate distance measurement characteristics, consistent with the manufacturer's specifications,
• stable operation of the parking assistance system without random errors or interference,
• preservation of the factory safety and comfort standards.

By choosing this set, you benefit from components designed specifically for the given system, which minimizes the risk of compatibility issues and eliminates the need for installation modifications.

Set characteristics and installation

The set includes two black PDC sensors that can be used as replacement parts in an existing parking system. The design is intended for installation in factory bumper sockets, which facilitates service and reduces replacement time. When correctly selected for the vehicle model, installation comes down to seating the sensor in the holder and connecting it to the original electrical harness.

Due to their original BMW origin, the sensors maintain proper operating parameters, and their geometry and mounting method are consistent with factory solutions used in the E81, E87, E90, and E91 series.

Product condition and practical application

The offered set comes from the used parts group, which allows for an economical repair of the PDC system while maintaining the original manufacturer's specifications. This solution is particularly beneficial in the case of mechanical damage to the bumper or individual sensors, when it is necessary to replace several elements at once to restore full system functionality.

In practice, replacing sensors is often the fastest way to clear parking system errors, such as lack of signal, continuous warning sound, or incorrect distance readings. Using original components allows you to restore the correct operation of the system without interfering with the vehicle's software.
